10 Times WWE Championships Changed Hands Twice In The Same Night

Vacant to Dolph Ziggler to Edge - World Heavyweight Championship.

Not even Vacant can get away from a list like this!

With the World Heavyweight Championship stripped from Edge by his bitter ex-girlfriend Vickie Guerrero, it was time to crown a new leader for SmackDown. To take the title away from the Ultimate Opportunist Guerrero had framed him in an attack on Theodore Long - but all wasn’t as it seemed.

Instead of a tournament where the best could fight for the biggest prize in the game, Guerrero decided to simply hand the title to her latest squeeze: Dolph Ziggler. What a way to get your first ever World title. People loved it when Eric Bischoff gifted Triple H the strap in 2002, so it's a good thing they decided to do this again almost a decade later...

Minutes after the crowning ceremony, the couple were incensed when a returning Teddy didn’t arrange a six-man tag-team match playa, but instead made Ziggler put the belt on the line against a newly vindicated Edge. Before the night was over, the former champion once again held Big Gold, leaving the Show Off with one of the worst first reigns in history.

When I'm not trying my hardest to visit all 50 U.S. states, I'm listening to music from the 80s, watching TV from the 90s, and reminiscing about growing up in the 00s. I'm currently living in Melbourne, Australia so WWE premium live events are on Sunday afternoons for me; the absolute dream.
